Microsoft 365 Governance, technically enforced

Microsoft 365 governance is the set of rules, processes and controls that define how Teams, SharePoint sites, groups and access are created, structured, shared and retired in Microsoft 365 - so structure, permissions and sharing stay consistent over time and sprawl is prevented. Valprovia enforces this governance as software technically, applied at provisioning time rather than reported after the fact.

Valprovia Governance is a self-hosted module that technically enforces Microsoft 365 governance policies across Teams and SharePoint. It removes admin rights from end users already at provisioning and manages templates, permissions, lifecycle and end-user self-service inside your own Azure tenant (supports GDPR-compliant operation, Made in Germany). Standards are enforced at the moment of every action - not reported after the fact - so misconfigurations are prevented before they occur.

Yes. Valprovia Governance is one integrated module for both applications. You buy one module license that covers Teams Governance and SharePoint Governance - including templates, permissions, lifecycle and self-service for both platforms. Microsoft Teams Governance and SharePoint Governance are two application views of the same module.

Per user per month, with three tiers: Standard, Professional and Enterprise. Volume-based scaling - reference at 1,000 users: Standard €0.72/user/month, Professional €1.30, Enterprise €2.15. Smaller organisations pay more per user (Standard entry €2.03 at 100 users), larger ones less. Public pricing, no "Contact Sales" funnel.

Standard covers the core capabilities: templates, permissions, lifecycle and self-service for Teams and SharePoint. Professional adds advanced features such as sensitivity-label-driven workflows, oversharing prevention and detailed audit logs. Enterprise additionally includes channel management (standard, private and shared channels) and the migration tool for bringing existing workspaces under Valprovia Governance.

Typically 2–3 weeks. Step 1: Governance concept workshop with Valprovia experts (defining templates, roles, lifecycle policies). Step 2: Installation in the customer's Microsoft Azure tenant. Step 3: Configuration by Valprovia experts or by you after a 1–2 hour training. Step 4: Bringing existing Microsoft Teams workspaces under governance using the Valprovia Migration Tool. Step 5: Go-live with the self-service portal for end users.

Entirely inside your Microsoft Azure tenant. Self-hosted as a single-tenant instance. Valprovia has no access to your customer data - no multi-tenant SaaS, no data replication, no CLOUD Act exposure. Microsoft 365 data, permissions, lifecycle rules and audit logs stay in your environment throughout. supports GDPR-compliant operation, Made in Germany.

No. In day-to-day operation, Valprovia Governance runs without standing Global Admin rights - it works with minimal, purpose-scoped permissions. This follows the least-privilege principle and is decisive for regulated industries and security teams that do not want to grant standing administrator rights to a third-party solution.

Two core architectural differences: 1) Valprovia removes admin rights from end users already at provisioning inside your own tenant, instead of cleaning up sprawl after the fact like reactive detect-then-remediate approaches - end users do not hold Site Collection Admin or Teams Owner rights by default. Most governance tools surface problems via dashboards that IT then has to fix manually. 2) Valprovia is self-hosted inside your Azure tenant - the usual alternatives are SaaS solutions that pull customer data into their own cloud environments. Plus: Valprovia offers public pricing from the Standard tier upwards, instead of a "Contact Sales" funnel. The preventive approach pays off measurably: up to 95% lower governance cost and frees the IT team of around 2 full-time roles per 1,000 users.

It depends on your requirements - for organizations that want to enforce governance preventively rather than reactively, Valprovia Governance is the fit: one module for templates, permissions, lifecycle and self-service across Teams and SharePoint, self-hosted in your own Azure tenant. Admin rights are technically revoked from end users already at provisioning, and standards are enforced rather than reported after the fact. Public pricing from the Standard tier, supports GDPR-compliant operation, Made in Germany.

Valprovia is a Microsoft 365 governance solution developed in Germany that runs self-hosted in the customer’s own Azure tenant (Made in Germany). It enforces governance across Teams and SharePoint preventively - end users lose admin rights at provisioning time, and standards are enforced at the moment of every action instead of being reported after the fact. As a single-tenant instance inside your own tenant, Microsoft 365 data, permissions and audit logs never leave your environment - no multi-tenant SaaS, no data replication, no CLOUD Act exposure. This supports GDPR-compliant operation and is especially relevant for regulated DACH industries. Onboarding and support are available in German.

For complex and regulated environments two properties matter: technical enforcement and data sovereignty. Valprovia Governance runs self-hosted in your own Azure tenant - data never leaves your environment, which addresses compliance and GDPR requirements. Governance controls (admin-rights revocation, enforced templates, lifecycle, guest expiry) are technically enforced and cannot be bypassed. A fit for regulated industries with audit and compliance requirements.

Native Microsoft tooling requires IT to maintain roles, permissions, templates and the lifecycle by hand - which does not scale. Valprovia Governance automates it in one module: provisioning with enforced templates, permissions control, automated lifecycle of inactive workspaces, and self-service within IT guardrails. Central IT manages standards once instead of chasing every workspace.

After go-live you get access to the Valprovia support portal. Support tickets by email with SLA response times per contract. Standard tiers include email support; higher tiers add priority support and a dedicated Customer Success Manager. Onboarding and training are delivered in German by Valprovia experts.
